What body part has primary responsibility for eliminating alcohol from the bloodstream?
The liver has the primary responsibility for eliminating alcohol. 5% is eliminated by the kidneys in urine. Another 5% is exhaled by the lungs, which is why breathalyzer devices detect alcohol use.

The oxidation process occurring in liver rids the bloodstream of alcohol present?
The liver metabolizes alcohol primarily through oxidation, converting it into acetaldehyde via the enzyme alcohol dehydrogenase. This acetaldehyde is then further oxidized to acetic acid, which is eventually broken down into carbon dioxide and water. This biochemical process helps eliminate alcohol from the bloodstream, allowing the body to recover from its effects. The liver can only process a certain amount of alcohol per hour, which is why excessive drinking can lead to intoxication and potential liver damage.
